In medical practice, the Medical Biller and Medical Coder roles are frequently combined, as physicians rely on these professionals to accurately assign diagnostic codes to all procedures performed.
This comprehensive course teaches you how to locate the appropriate procedure codes (CPT-4) and diagnostic codes (ICD-10), how to properly sequence codes in the correct order, and when to apply each code appropriately. You will gain practical knowledge essential for accurate medical billing and coding in any healthcare setting.
Prerequisite: Medical Terminology or equivalent experience in the medical field.
Required Books:
- ICD-10-CM for Physicians (Professional or Expert edition); any preferred publisher.
- CPT Professional Edition (CPT/Current Procedural Terminology), published by the American Medical Association.
For both books, previous editions are permitted for practice purposes (2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017). The current edition (2023) is required if you plan to use these materials for the current year's licensing exam.
